Has anyone fitted one of these kits to a bandit they come in 35mm and 50mm rises, if so what improment was noticed and was it worth while.

Have not had a bike for long while and just looking for subtle but beneficial tweeks to do to my K4

Cheers

Not fitted one to a bandit but have to my Thunderace. Immediately noticed bike was more eager to turn and seat about an inch or two higher. Difference for me felt like the bike had turned into a 600 compared to what it was like before.

If you're looking at the ones off ebay they will do the job nicely. Take around 4 days to arrive from germany (a place called autofarm or something like that) and about £25 all in.

Easy job to do - on the 'ace it's a 17mm bolt with a 13mm nut on the other end, top and bottom, pull bolts out. Then you migt need someone to hold bike steady whilst you put a car jack under suspension lower bracket and jack it up so the bolt holes line up, slide bolts through again, tighten up, and prepare to be surprised (hopefully pleasantly) when you get on and ride Smile

Or at least I was anyway Smile

Good luck!
